Oh, get real. What's going to happen about that security breach? NOTHING, that's what.

[TygrBright]

Bupkis.

Niente.

Zilch.

There will be a ton of hand-wringing and pearl-clutching in the national 'mainstream media'.

There will be a lot of earnest, scary analysis and warnings from people who know what they're talking about and know exactly how serious this is but have zero power to do anything about it.

Some Congressional Democrats will "demand hearings" which they will not get.

There will be massive tut-tuttery from the Democratic establishment.

There will be a bunch of yawns from the GOP.

And there will be no response at all from Putin's team in the White House, because THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO DO, and that's all they care about.

And no one can stop them anymore.

realistically,

1. They're taking a chance

and the next Congress may think differently and be willing to use its powers to inflict lots of pain on these conspirators. It might benefit the Trumps if the present Congress took control of the investigations (vs ignore the crime). But they ain't that smart.

[TygrBright]

2. You're assuming there will be a "next Congress"... n/t

[C_U_L8R]

4. True.

But if that's the case, it will be an all-out melee, french revolution style.

[TygrBright]

7. Maybe.

And maybe there WILL be a "next Congress". The point is, they're acting like THEY don't believe there will be.

And I thought the Reconstruction South was chaotic...

amazedly,
Bright

[chicoescuela]

26. Agree, but I'm a twisted dude. It would make for excellent TV.

[bluestarone]

12. Hell, i'm beginning to think if we win BOTH houses in 26

These monsters will not listen to courts or congress. Who is gonna do anything about it if they continue in their ways? Well see what happens after the March 31st deadline the judge handed down.

[ForgedCrank]

3. It should

be an automatic set time in prison for any government employee or official who uses any communication system that is not provided by, monitored by, and archived by the US Government.

[TygrBright]

6. They should obey the law, too. But there's no sign of them doing so. Or facing consequences for not doing it. n/t

[Scrivener7]

5. Sadly, you're right.

[drmeow]

8. Totally agree with you

And the effing corporate media has allowed the effing GOP to get away with all this sort of shit for decades.

[jalan48]

9. It's does serve as a huge distraction from what Musk is doing and the impending blow up at Social Security though.

[spanone]

10. Sadly, you are probably correct.

...but her emails.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Yes. Message needs to be 47th presidency is either badly incompetent or malignant or both. . . . nt

[drray23]

13. The hearing already happened today.nt.

[TygrBright]

14. LOL. "Okay, heard. Let's sit on our thumbs and watch them shut down another program." n/t

[XanaDUer2]

15. Nothing

[0rganism]

16. You're selling them short. I expect Jeff Goldberg and The Atlantic will face sanctions of some kind

That's how the regime operates

[TygrBright]

17. Fair point, well made. n/t

[leftstreet]

19. We can probably wait and read about it in his book n/t

[mike_c]

18. every federal law enforcement agency...

...works for Trump. There's no one to make him accountable for anything. That will have to occur in the streets, I fear.

[Maru Kitteh]

20. This was my first thought when it happened.

[Emile]

21. Maybe Schumer will think of something.

[Pris]

23. If we give up now all is lost

Cynicism hands power to the corrupt. We will fight. We will make sure something happens. If we give up now all is lost.

[AmericaUnderSiege]

24. "No one can stop them anymore." Bullshit!

They can't stop us. They think this country belongs to them, but we think we belong to this country. Who do you think wins there? No amount of TikTok zombies retweeting Kremlin talking points overmatches a human soul with a sentient mind, a love of freedom, and a just cause.

If degenerates who can't even keep eggs on store shelves want to take it to another level, they can fucking try us.

[GAtomboy]

25. Absolutely not

This cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug. This is gross incompetence and negligence!!! Dems and everyone need to be talking about this all day every day until those pieces of shit resign or are fired!!!

[MineralMan]

27. Well, all of the principals have been called in to testify in the Senate.

They got an earful from the Senators, too.

Will there be charges? Probably not. But, the entire mess is being aired out in the media. Almost as good.
